Recorder: Kelly Mulroy

Notes:

• Effective planning, budgeting (major impact) and implementation of technology for the curriculum

• Ineffective time for class set up due to multiple room changes

• Same courses taught in computer labs vs traditional classrooms (without Smartboards) during same semester

  • Limited numbers of classrooms equipment with effective technology

  • Finance, Business Law, Marketing, Accounting, Intro to Business, Entrepreneurship

• Software or hardware changes

  • Technology is ahead of the textbooks and materials

  • New software - no teaching materials

• Consideration for technology courses due to changing speed in which technology changes

  • Need to know plans for equipment replacement, as certain software will only run on one platform or another

• Curriculum review cycle does correspond with the technology initiative

  • Discrepancy between five - seven year curriculum review vs the rapid changes of technology

  • Changes in software vs corresponding textbook replacement
